Pours a five-fingered cream head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Clear amber color. Strong hoppy/floral nose. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Starts wth some sweetness with the hops dominating but don’t overpower and makes this a tolerable IPA. $1.95 for a 12oz bottle from Julio’s Liquors Westborough, Ma.

On tap at The Old Toad in Rochester, NY. Appearance: Amber with an off white head. Aroma: Strong hops, some sweetness in the background. Palate: Medium, good mouthfeel. Flavor: Strong hops, sweet lemony/citrus malts. Overall: The hops really smacks you in the face, but the malt balances it nice. Kind of a dry finish.

Medium sized white head, good retention and a nice lace. Clear copper/ amber hued brew. Large flowery hop nose, grapefruit, pine, big and juicy. Light/medium body, sorta thin. Large hop flavors up front, pine, citrus and some melon notes. Medium sweet malts, caramel buried under the fresh hop flavors. WOW, 6.2% alc! Finish is dry and fruity. This beer brewed in MD.

On Tap at Isaac Newtons. No hop monster, but smooth and well balanced. Just a bit sweet, and pleasantly hoppy with some good citrus flavor. Good overall IPA.

Thanks to secret santa. Lots of pine sticky hop resins. Almost no malt detectable in aroma. Flavor has same piney hop bite with some cirus sweetness and faint malt in the background. Long lingering spicy hop aftertaste. Nice lacing. A little one dimensional.

Pours a very clear light golden amber with wispy near white head. Sweet pineapple, some graininess, and a nice floral hop finish. Solid IPA. Great name and a terrific label.
